Kidney Equity Initiative
Turning Kidney Health Knowledge Into Action
We deliver evidence-based kidney health education through schools, community outreach, and student and educator leadership.
Our programs combine age-appropriate education, practical prevention resources, and measurable learning outcomes to help communities build lasting kidney health knowledge.
01
Understand
Identify the audience, setting, and educational needs so the program can be relevant to the community it serves.
How Our Programs Work
Our programs are designed around a simple cycle: understand what a community needs, deliver accessible kidney health education, measure learning, and use the results to improve future programs.
02
Educate
Deliver evidence-based, age-appropriate kidney health education focused on kidney function, risk factors, prevention, and early awareness.
03
Measure
Use pre- and post-program educational assessments to evaluate changes in participants’ kidney health knowledge.
04
Improve
Use participant feedback and educational results to strengthen materials and future programming.
